Domestic Abuse
Francis A. Bax
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LMHC, LPC, CASAC-Master
Nobody deserves to be abused or victimized. I work closely with victims of domestic violence to ensure their safety and find ways to terminate a relationship with the perpetrators, who I also work closely with also to teach them the risks of further victimizing their partners.

Domestic Abuse
Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I work with individuals who have experienced emotional, physical, or psychological abuse in relationships. Abuse often changes how you see yourself and what you believe you deserve, and it can be very difficult to leave or recover from these relationships. In therapy, we work on safety, boundaries, rebuilding self-trust, and understanding the patterns that keep people stuck in harmful relationship dynamics so that change becomes possible.

As a survivor of domestic abuse, I know firsthand that surviving abuse takes strength, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. I provide a trauma-informed space where your story is believed, your experiences are validated, and your healing unfolds at your pace. Together, we’ll rebuild your sense of safety, confidence, and trust, helping you move from survival to reclaiming your power and voice.
